Elder Scrolls vs. Minecraft dev: "scrolls" is our word (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/news/2011/08/elder-scrolls-vs-minecraft-dev-scrolls-is-our-word.ars)
"ZeniMax Media publishes a series of role-playing games called The Elder Scrolls, developed by Bethesda Software; the fifth such game, Skyrim, will be released this November. Mojang, the indie studio behind Minecraft, is currently developing a collectible card-style game called Scrolls. Confused by the similarity between "The Elder Scrolls" and "Scrolls"? No? Well, ZeniMax believes that you and other consumers might just be. It has filed a lawsuit against Mojang, claiming that the developer has infringed upon The Elder Scrolls trademark."
Isn't scrolls just a common word in the dictionary? Can you really file a lawsuit against someone for using an English word?
I'm going to sue every person out there that uses the word girl now because that's in my username. Ya know, they might get confused and all.
that's kinda retarded, isn't a scroll some kind of paper thingy, a real word? why would someone be confused about that, are they making ElderScroll 5 for 4yr olds?
Still I really like Notch's idea, http://notch.tumblr.com/post/9038258448/hey-bethesda-lets-settle-this
people should do stuff like that more often
Lol quake match

lol if you want, but i wished world leaders would sort their problems like this, using video games. it'd be cheaper, there would be no deaths so yeah...
but anywayz, suing notch and mojang for "scrolls" that had to be the most drastic and retarded idea i've ever heard
I said lol cause it was Quake
I was thinking more along the lines of Mortal Kombat because punching is involved, but maybe I'm not thinking about this right...
I think the Quake match is a good idea. :3
